Local Farmers Markets

There is something about a farmers’ market that is hard to resist. Our city has two of them that are filled with good eats.

Virginia Beach Farmers’ Market

The Virginia Beach Farmers’ Market carries farm-fresh produce and baked goods, as well as honey, jams and pickles. In addition, it features a seafood market, butcher shop, organic grocer, florist, ice cream shop and candy store.

Each month, it hosts a special event. This month’s gala, called Thanksgiving with all the Trimmings, will be held on November 18. It will include live music, food trucks and a crafts show. At 11 a.m., a demonstration on how to carve a turkey will be provided. Patrons will also have the opportunity to make a Christmas card for a veteran. No admission is charged, but please bring a nonperishable food item for the Food Bank.

Hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The address is 3640 Dam Neck Road, Suite 510.

Aside from seasonal fruits and vegetables, it carries a host of goodies such as salsas, cheeses and savory foods from local chefs. It’s open from 9 a.m. to noon on November 18 and December 16.
